POLISH FORCES
LOST MATERIAL REPLACED BY BRITAIN GENERAL SIKORSKI’S REVIEW. EAGERNESS FOR COMING OFFENSIVE. (By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright) LONDON. November 22. The Polish Premier, General Sikorsky, in a statement, said that Britain had made up Poland’s material losses since the outbreak* of the war. The British Admiralty had replaced the destroyer Grom and the submarine Orzel. and the Polish army was on a basis of full equality with the British. The Polish air force was collaborating with the R.A.F. and had accounted for 10 per cent of the enemy planes shot down over England. Only a few pilots were engaged, the remainder being reserved for a future offensive. They would soon participate in longdistance flights over Poland, taking bombs for the German occupants and leaflets for the Poles. “The interest of the Polish armed forces in the war,” said General Sikorsky, “is to get back from Britain to the Continent and from there to Poland.”
